Shoreline 911 Backdate: A Reimagined Classic

At Shoreline 911, we believe the Porsche 911 is more than a car — it's a design language, a piece of history, and an engineering icon. Our backdate program reinterprets the 911 for modern roads while preserving the soul of the original. Built on the revered 964 and 993 platforms, each car is transformed through obsessive attention to detail and craftsmanship. This is where timeless design meets modern capability.

The Foundation: 964 and 993 Platforms

The air-cooled 911 reached its peak in the 964 and 993 generations. These platforms provide a solid, analog driving feel with just the right amount of refinement. They form the perfect base for transformation — giving us the ability to preserve the car’s authentic character while elevating performance, handling, and comfort to new levels.

Design: Pure and Purposeful

Our approach to bodywork blends the elegance of the early long-hood 911s with subtle aggression and modern precision. Each panel is reshaped for balance and clarity — from the sculpted bumpers to the widened arches and flowing lines. A centrally mounted fuel filler draws inspiration from classic racing setups, while trim options allow clients to tailor the overall finish to their taste. The result is a 911 that feels both familiar and fresh, with a silhouette that commands attention without shouting.

Performance, Elevated

Underneath its timeless form lies a thoroughly modern driving experience. Our backdates feature a TracTive semi-active suspension system, allowing real-time adjustments from within the cabin. Whether tuned for daily comfort or weekend precision, the setup responds to every input with composure and control. Engine options include a naturally aspirated 3.6-liter flat-six producing 330 brake horsepower, a 3.8-liter tuned for 340 horsepower, and a 3.6-liter supercharged configuration delivering 410 horsepower. Clients can choose between the dynamic feel of rear-wheel-drive or the confident traction of all-wheel-drive. Each powertrain is paired with tailored gearing and driveline enhancements to extract the most from every journey.

Interior: Focused Simplicity

Inside, the Shoreline 911 Backdate maintains a minimalist philosophy shaped by premium materials and purposeful design. The interior tub is finished in body colour for visual continuity, and every surface is treated with the same level of detail as the exterior. A Porsche Classic Communication Management (PCCM) system integrates modern functionality like navigation, Bluetooth, and Apple CarPlay into the classic dashboard layout — bringing connectivity without compromising the timeless atmosphere of the cockpit.

Commissioning a Backdate

Each Shoreline 911 Backdate is a bespoke project — no templates, no shortcuts. Every build reflects the personality of its owner, shaped through direct collaboration and countless hours of handcrafted detail. From drivetrain setup to color palette, this is a Porsche reimagined around you — engineered to perform, designed to last, and built to be driven.
